    In a universe where humans have invaded the Transformers' home planet of Cybertron, its up to the remaining members of the Cybertronian species to reclaim their homeworld. Will these warring races make amends...or seek revenge? This is...the aftermath.

    Transformers: Aftermath.

    (In Transformers: Aftermath, the toadying Starscream manages to survive the near-extinction of the Transformer race, but winds up being separated from his leader. While Megatron and Optimus formed their temporary alliance to rebuild their race, Starscream desperately searched for his one true master.)

    (But when he returned to Megatron, Starscream had realized how warped his leader had become. Now on the receiving end of Megatron's rage, Starscream plans the assassination of the Decepticon tyrant in secret.)

    (I enjoy his plane mode quite a bit! But in order to get Starscream into a serviceable vehicle mode, a long and irritating transformation must take place. I don't really have fun transforming this guy.)

    (But once he's transformed, I can't help but enjoy his robot mode.)

    (There's a small bit of size changing. His jet mode is larger than the robot mode. Even if its a slight change in size, that's the only thing I like about the transformation.)

    Bio

    "Conquest is made of the ashes of one's enemies."

    Starscream is one of Megatron's very first followers. As the Autobot/Decepticon war raged on, he was undeniably loyal to Megatron, to the point of tiring his leader with excessive groveling. When Megatron returned to the Decepticons amidst the near-exctinction of Transformers, Starscream was overjoyed- only to realize that Megatron's flawless tactics and respect towards his own troops had long gone. This was no longer the leader Starscream aspired to work under. Now, Starscream aspires towards a new goal: usurping Decepticon command. But to do so, Starcream must tread lightly. Any misstep could send Starscream one blast away towards his demise.

    (Hey, but we're not done yet! Starscream has a combined mode with Megatron!)

    (This is Sonic Wing Mode! Yes, Megatron stole Prime's gimmick from Transformers: Cybertron...)

    (The process for snapping Starscream onto Megatron's back can be seen above. In addition, Starscream's vehicle mode nosecone merges with one of Megatron's guns to form a lance.)

    (Despite lacking a flying vehicle mode, Megatron can still lift himself into the air, aided by rockets. But with Starscream forming a jetpack, Megatron's flying capabilities skyrocket right off the charts!)

    (I even developed a bio for this mode.)

    ---

    To combat Optimus Prime and his Super Mode granted by the power of the Autobot Matrix, the power-hungry Megatron developed Sonic Wing Mode by bonding himself with his loyal lieutenant, Starscream. During the Great War, their combined power and speed rivaled Optimus Prime's own incredible strength.But now that Starscream carries ire for his leader, this mode is a means only a means to an end. Starscream will only continue to upgrade Megatron in battle if it means securing victory against Optimus Prime and the human race.

    ---

    (And with that, we're done with Starscream. Maybe next time, we will see Soundwave an his combination with Megatron!)

    Nice...

    Y’know... as much as I don’t like Michael Bay directing tf movies, he would do a good job portraying humans invade Cybertron...

    Then hopefully fail miserably when Autobots and Deceptions align to fend them off :p

    I'm a bit in the minority XD I think there are some things Micheal Bay's movies have done right...
    ...though, there are some things that could have been handled better, to say the least. Or even excluded altogether.

    I liked the concept of humans actually being a threat for once instead of just being sidekicks/casualties, which party inspired this series!
    In short, I wouldn't mind at all, seeing a movie with that premise.

    That could do, with the wings facing forward instead of back, and probably a different head for the robot mode. Purple pieces are hard for me to come by, but I'll certainly
    keep this in mind for a future build.
